Time capsules are cool! I like the sound of primrose cottage, I love old houses (so living in one that's merely 56 years old is kind of meh). Maybe you'll post picures? *hopeful*
I remember when we got our first dishwashing machine, it must have been early 80s. And I can remember having to heat water on the stove and bathing in a tub on the kitchen floor. But that was only the first year we lived in the house where I grew up. The sisters who lived there before hadn't bothered with a water heater. Or maybe there was one of those hanging on the wall in the bathroom? No idea, I just remember that one bath where the hot water came from a gigantic coffee pot. That first winter we all (mum, dad and I) all slept in the same bed, it was so cold and the house had such a draft that the bedclothes froze to the wall... That's pretty exotic, thinking about it now. Makes me feel really ancient. ;-)
